Silverthorn,

OV.II
Husqvarna's SCQt Harden
scored a runaway victory in·the
125cc/Open race at the AMA
District 38 250cc 7class short
course hare scrambles. Lemon Grove
Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM owner, Bill
Silverthorn did likewise in the Senior/
Vet race. Both riders had near flawless rides and went vinually uncontested from lap one.
The five-mile course was layed out
in some of the roughest and siltiest
mudhills in Imperial Valley.
As 11:00 a.m. struck, the 125cc/
Open race was off and running. As
expected, pre-race favorite Harden
led the pack up pit row after the first
lap. Hot on his heels was Yamaha
rider Tom Moen and Austin Haydis
on his 250cc Husky. Painted Gorge
Motorcycle Club's Steve Basin on his
new '85 Yamaha followed. The first
125cc rider, in eighth overall was
Amateur Joey Lane with John Bird
in tow. Novice 250cc rider, Gary
Kepple followed at 11th overall.
Moen led the second loop after
Harden took a brief off course excur- .
sion, "I made a Novice mistake. I
went straight, after the pi ts and missed
the turn." Haydis maintained a now
distant third overall". Basin was closing the gap from founh. Bird passed
Lane and ran fifth overall, first 125cc
with Lane at sixth overall. Kawasaki
West rider Bob Bell was trying to
make up ground after a miserable
stan, at eighth overall. Expen Steve
Walker (25Occ) in 10th overall was
also working his way up after meeting the ditch 'It check one on the first
lap.
Harden, who had regained his lead
on the third lap, had built his advantage to 20 seconds after lap five. Moen
continued in second overall. Haydis,
who dropped back after losing his
own contest with the silty track, left a
battle between Bird and Basin for
third overall, with Bird edging Basin
out this loop. Bell had moved into
fifth overall, second 125cc Expen
with Joey Lane falling back bULmainlaining third 125cc.
At the finish, Harden took the
checkered nag with a comfortable
lead over second-place Tom Moen.
Basin finished third overall, third
Open. In founh overall was 125cc
winner Bird, with a closing Bell finishing 15 seconds back. Lane, in seventh overall, took third 125cc and
was the first Amateur across the finish line. In eighth overall was Amateur Robbie Pippin, the first 250cc
across the finish line.
